"The Battle of Charleston..." update

I first heard about Terry Lowry's The Battle of Charleston and the 1862 Kanawha Valley Campaign a couple years ago, back when it had a projected Fall 2013 release. Fast forward through more missed dates and the author is still adding new material. The latest word from the publisher, 35th Star, is that they are now planning on early 2015. A full history of this mostly forgotten Confederate offensive in western Virginia (one conducted in parallel with Lee's Maryland Campaign) has never been attempted before and I can't think of a better person to bring it out of obscurity.
